WEEK ONE

[ Well that Orientation... happened. Whether you feel more informed or not, the truth remains. Here you are, within Fayflower University. You have your run of the campus, indoors and out.

There's also your tablets to play with. There are several apps-- and even a game! They didn't leave you without some entertainment. The music is a bit dated though...

And should you wish, there's still time to talk to the "staff" in a more... private setting. The office. They're not hard to find. Well-- your Professor, Han and Megumi aren't. Oswald is a bit more... difficult. ]
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Um. Okay.)

That's one blessing to have in this place I suppose.

[He sighs.]

At least I can continue writing.
whatsmytalentagain: (And I'll never be)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-14 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods at that while he takes a notebook and pencil for himself.]

Woah, this stuff's high end.
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Um. Okay.)

It's better than usual trash you find in stores, yes.

[He's still judging them though.]

.....I still wish that they had my usual writing supplies. Pencil is always going to look unrefined when compared to the writing you get using a quill.
whatsmytalentagain: (And what do you think you'd understand)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-15 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[You don't have to judge the inanimate objects. They can't judge back.]

No offense, but have you tried writing with a pen? Or, on a computer?
blackcatintheruemorgue: (SHOCK)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-15 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I know how!... I just.. prefer not to for the final version.... but I do make digital copies of everything to send to my publisher.

[He's mildly offended that you assumed he's that out of touch.]
whatsmytalentagain: (And all I can breathe is your life)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-15 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Woah... Sorry...

[He had to ask after meeting the guy who couldn't work a tablet.]

I take it you're into calligraphy?
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Worried Anxiety)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-15 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

No.. it's....ah... it's fine. You said to not get offended. I.... I shouldn't have raised my voice.... still, Do I.... do really seem that out of touch..?

[Does he really seem like someone who's not used a pencil or computer before....????? Poe perks up out of his sulking though at the question about calligraphy.]

Very. I find it relaxing.

[Well, that and it makes his personal copies of his books look important and he really likes that.... but that's not something anyone needs to know.]

whatsmytalentagain: (When everything's meant to be broken)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-16 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Damn, this is awkward...]

Yeah, I've already met two people who legit didn't know about technology. I had to ask.

But hey. Calligraphy is one of those lost arts, ain't it? Your hobbies are valid.
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Neutral Sad)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-18 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
..... That's fair.

[There's more than Waver here...?]

It is. Though I find that fact it even qualifies as such to be... um... well... unfortunate.

[He gets why it's going out of style, but still, it's unfortunate.]
whatsmytalentagain: (What you want me to be)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-08-18 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Terra and the 1800's guy.]

What can I say? Technology marches on, less people wanna deal with ink pots and quills because ball point pens are easier.

... Now that I think of it, aren't there modern pens with quill ends on them? I forget the name.
blackcatintheruemorgue: (Um. Okay.)

[personal profile] blackcatintheruemorgue 2018-08-19 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I know... but there's an certain elegance that you get out of the quill pen that you don't get out of pens.

[Poe tilts his head in thought.]

I.... I think I've seen those before. I don't think they have an specific name though....
